Credit to City they could have quit when we built a 8 point lead but no they stuck at it and just carried on getting results hammering WBA and Norwich and really raising that goal difference in the process. Beating United twice and lets be clear United were 2nd best in both league contests and had Kompany not been sent off i doubt we'd have beaten them in the FA cup as we almost blew it when they were down to 10.
There is no doubt our team isn't good enough but i am still proud that despite the huge difference in quality especially in the midfield we have competed pretty well. City for the talent they have should have a 10 point lead in all honesty.
Overall the problems for United are at the full back position both Evra and Rafael have time and again proven their inability to defend. With Evra we have a player past it he really is finished atleast with Rafael he is young learning and getting better.
I am also not happy with Phil Jones he is yet another typically overrated English player. I wasn't happy when we bought him that 16 or so million we spent on him should have been used on midfield. We had plenty of options at centre back in Rio, Vidic , Evans and Smallling plus the kids in reserves.
Our central midfield is weaker than any team in the top 6. Scholes had to come out of retirement to pull the strings. Anderson the fat blob is always injured and another big time flop. Park has done his job in shirt sales and some big performances but he is past it. Giggs and Scholes as much as i like them should really retire they are just holding us back, they can't play week in week out nor can they compete in the very biggest of games as proven at Man City where Toure had Scholes in his back pocket.
This United team is in decline has been since Ronaldo left along with Tevez. We never replaced them 2 players really. We need about 5 new players and need to shift some of the mediocre ones.
Players like Anderson, Park, Berbatov (sadly) and Evra i would like to see gone, although Evra won't go i can see the other 3 going.
We can then look to bring in some new talent which we desperately need. I also find it rather hypocritical from Sir Alex saying we can't compete with City as they have too much money well you know what that is how the rest of the league felt before the Glazers took over but no one complained and Arsenal proved you can compete. The real problem is we have since the Glazers took over been unable to compete in net spend with the likes of Sunderland its not because we don't make money its the fact the debt the Glazers have put us under huge debt and refuse to allow us to spend on the big name players.
We just don't have the money from the owners to buy the £25-30 million players no need to say City are making the market stupid which they might be to an extent but they are not the only ones to do that.
